LAUSANNE, September
14, 2018 - Media officers of the world football federation are on a mission to
trace veteran World Cup reporters and photographers.

FIFA is
considering an event to acknowledge the contribution of media individuals in spreading
the excitement, drama and controversy generated by the world game’s greatest
event over at least 10 tournaments.

Any
journalist or photographer accredited to attend the last 10 tournaments would
have had to make his or her debut in Spain in 1982. Alternatively he/she would
have had to start ever further back in modern football history if they have
missed some in the sequence.
